...commend TIME for the forum of views on the Iraq war, "Was It Worth It?" [March 27]. While the question may not have immediate relevance to our policy options in Iraq, it provides an important framework to evaluate future actions.

Now that he has confessed, he should go to a VA hospital, apologize to the soldiers there and then visit families of those who died in the name of incompetence, narcissism and cultural ignorance...
...College’s conservative monthly. “When student bodies speak as one, that’s really where we make our difference,” said Undergraduate Council President John S. Haddock ’07, who also spoke at the event. Haddock is right. We commend the concert’s organizers on the execution of the event. Events such as the Iran Freedom Concert are good for the Harvard campus: They bring together diverse constituencies and provide a stage to highlight important issues. More significantly, they become the launching pad from which dialogue arises...
